Nicole Uniquole: ‘It is a particularly great honour that Her Majesty Queen Máxima is visiting Masterly this year. The Netherlands is one of the biggest players during Milan Design Week and the fact that the Queen is paying an extensive visit to Milan underlines for me the importance of Dutch Design at home and abroad. In addition, I am very happy with Masterly’s new location as a new setting for the collections of more than eighty Dutch designers and companies’.

The Palazzo

Masterly – the Dutch in Milano is situated during the Salone del Mobile at Palazzo dei Giureconsulti, known as the Palazzo with the Tower. It is the city’s most elegant, iconic and centrally located venue, literally a few steps away from Piazza del Duomo. Five hundred years of history add inestimable layers and value to the spaces. The vaults, monumental staircase, stucco, decorations and historic light have been preserved in the various presentation rooms. The Palazzo is the exclusive domain for Dutch design.

 

Orchids and design: a perfect match

That orchids and design go together perfectly will be demonstrated during the Salone del Mobile. The exotic appearance of hundreds of orchids in elegant, iconic Milan will impressively add colour and life to the palazzo. Inside the palazzo, metre-high installations, designed by Dutch artist and set designer Tom Potsma, will be hung full of hundreds of orchids. For a week, visitors can see the highest quality, long-lasting Dutch orchids, but orchids can also be enjoyed long after the event. On 23 April – the last day of the event – all orchids will be given away to Milan residents. This long-standing tradition is a token of appreciation for the city’s hospitality and this is how the orchids get a wonderful second life.
